Belle Of The Ball

i like to put this song in drop D and use it as a bass note to ring out through the long lines of the Chorus and verses . play the G and a like a barre chord without the barre and mute the open D . D G D a vagabond dreamer , a rhymer and singer of songs G D singing to no one and nowhere to really belong G D i met a beautiful lady , a pure southern belle of the ball G A like scarlet o’hara loved no one and wanted them all Chorus : G D i’ll never forget you and love you inspite of your faults G D the good and the bad i want to remember it all G D i did a new dance and you did your tennessee waltz G the party’s all over i came uninvited D A G i’m leaving and taking the belle of the ball D G D there will always be someone i guess that’s the way it should be G D i guess i should know that someone used to be me G D they’ll gather around her soon they’ll all look the same G A at the feet of the lady are lover’s without any names Chorus G D i’ll never forget you and love you inspite of your faults G D the good and the bad i want to remember it all G D i did a new dance and you did your tennessee waltz G the party’s all over i came uninvited D A G i’m leaving and taking the belle of the ball
